While I'm sure there is an audience for this, when you consider _Stardew_ is only $15USD, I think the price is going to limit that audience...not a new problem for Whitethorn Games, they might want to rethink their strategy.
When it comes to the price of indiegames they have gone up over the last year or so. $20 is kind of becoming the norm which is no bad thing imo. If Stardew came out today I reckon it would be closer to $20.
@@PlayerState However, this is $25 and has something like one-fifth the content, games/publishers have to build an audience. I'm not necessarily saying it's right (capitalism has its flaws), only that this publisher might be limiting their audience with lesser known titles by pricing them at the high end. How many cozy life sims are there now? (with only those two tags you get 155) The competition in the indie space is brutal now and price plays a roll. I don't think Vampire Survivors would have been a success has it launched at $25, the low entry point made people think, "it's only $5, I'll give it a try".
